Level-5 Is Turning The Little Battlers Into A Strategy RPG

We’ve seen a couple Little Battlers eXperience games from Level-5 and all of them have centered around mecha arena battles. The Little Battlers Wars is going in a different direction since the genre is plastic model crafting SRPG.

Specific gameplay details for The Little Battlers Wars have not been released, but we know it’s tied to the new anime series. In 2055 tiny robots called LBXs are the most popular hobby in the world. LBXes fight in a cardboard battlefield which is why they are called "Cardboard Warriors" and there is a professional league for LBX fighters.

Arata transfers to a school that trains the best LBX players in the world. He makes friends with Hikaru who joined the school and finds a LBX war simulator underneath his school. Joined by the class president Haruki, the three form the Jenock squad and try to figure out the secret of the "Second World."

The Little Battlers War is in development for Nintendo 3DS. It will be the first game in the Little Battlers eXperience series to not debut first on PSP or a PlayStation platform.
